I can't remember the last time I had roti.  My friend was getting a serious case of the munchies after work, so we decided to stop by Mona's for roti.  We ended up sharing the Goat Curry Roti.  Unfortunately it was not boneless, but now I think I…More »

The rumours are true, this is home to T-Dot's BEST BIBIMBAP - even better than Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu.  Seor Ak San has been opened for about a year and even though its pretty far away from Christie & Bloor (Korea Town), this place does not lack in…More »

Sang Ho has been around for a really long time.  I remember coming here to dine with my Uncle Ming, who introduced me to this fine dining establishment at the tender age of 14.

I grew up in Scarborough and have always had a lot of Sri Lankan friends.  I would say 95% of my friends are.  The weird thing is that I have never experienced Sri Lankan cuisine.  

At around 9:30PM, my hungry boyfriend calls and tells me he hasn't…More »

My third time at Buk Chang Dong for some savoury Clay Pot Rice!  The first 2 times I had #9 on the menu, which is their Broiled Bulgogi (think beef on a sizzlin hot plate, served with a side of their house clay pot rice).  

The communal starter dishes…More »

Nguyen Huong always brings me on a trip down memory lane.  Back in the early 90's when the Chinese population was not invading all the various townships of Toronto - we all had to take that weekly trip down to either East or West Chinatown for all…More »

I don't know why this place got such bad reviews. Yes the ambiance sucks, yes its a hole in the wall.... But the food more than makes up for it.  Its not exactly selling itself as high end.

Somewhere between a "Dai pai dong" (cafeteria-style) and an…More »

Headed to Smoke's Poutinerie after having boozed and dances the night away down the street at Bar 244.  It was not too crowded but had a few occupied tables.

We ordered the traditional and pulled pork poutines.  The pulled pork is a chipotle pulled…More »

The Perfect Chinese should change its name to the Defect Chinese Restaurant... Oh wait... I don't think that will do much to up its slumping reputation.

Okay, so really I give Dumpling House 2.5 stars, but closer to the 2 side than the 3 side.  

We ordered the Pork, Chive, Egg & Shrimp Dumpling as well as the Wonton Noodles.  After having read the various reviews about avoiding the Korean dishes, I…More »

I have yet to find a Chinese Dumpling restaurant that lives up to my standards.  I think that the defining factor of a good dumpling lies in the dumpling wrapper.  With that said, I found the Chinese Dumpling House wrappers to be too thick.  We had…More »
